According to the NHS, children aged between 7 and 10 should have no more than 24g of sugar a day, and children between 4 and 6 should have no more than 19g. According to recent research however, the average UK child between 6 and 11 will consume approximately 63g a day, amounting to 5748 sugar cubes a year, about two and half times the recommended amount.

Excess in sugar consumption can be a large factor in increasing childhood obesity, and with the present lockdown and confinement, children are spending more time inside and therefore are more sedentary than usual. This may exacerbate the problem, especially when supply chains breakdowns and income loss may disrupt a family’s ability to purchase healthier food options.

The NHS recommends small changes to our diets, and to help keep our children healthy in order to have a healthy future, we’ve got a great prize to give away. Thanks to Skinny Food Co., you’ve got a chance to win a £50 shopping voucher for a variety of healthier snacking options for your children that still have that quality in taste.
